Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a container suspending device that can process waste without causing any problems and maintaining its strength. The device comprises a paper container suspending base plate with a plurality of circular openings and a plurality of lock pieces extending from the inner peripheral edges of the openings towards the inside. The lock pieces pass through the openings and are positioned under the lock parts formed on the containers, preventing the lock parts from slipping out. The device is made of paper, which can be reused and does not cause any toxic gas when burnt. The lock pieces rising aslant from the inner peripheral edges of the openings serve as guides, allowing the container suspending base plate to automatically align with the heads of the containers. The device can be easily fabricated by pulp molding."

Problems solved by technology

However, the conventional portable carton and the suspending device have the following problems.
As a result, the cartons with canned beers can only be horizontally arranged for display on a shelf or a table.
Thus, the carton is convenient as a carrier but no better than the case where a canned beer is individually sold in terms of effective use of store space.
Moreover, it is quite troublesome to transfer canned beers that are delivered in a corrugated carton to the portable carton one at a time.
Nevertheless, the suspending device made of synthetic resin can cause problems with regard to waste treatment after use as with other synthetic resin waste.
On the other hand, drinks in plastic bottles are not usually purchased in a bundle when an individual carries about a bottle and consumes it within a day.

first embodiment

[0036] A first embodiment of the present invention is explained using FIGS. 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B and 4.

[0037] A container suspending device in the present embodiment comprises a main body 10 formed by bonding a top plate 11 made of a cardboard and a container suspending base plate 12 with an adhesive agent. On the top plate 11, as shown in FIG. 1A, six octagonal cap bodies 11a to 11f are provided, which are formed by bending a punched cardboard 20 shown in FIG. 2A at bending lines represented by broken lines. On a container suspending base plate 12, six circular openings 12a to 12f with four lock pieces 13a to 13d extending from an inner periphery toward an inside of each of the circular openings 12a to 12f as shown in FIG. 1B. The container suspending base plate 12 is formed by bending a punched cardboard 30 shown in FIG. 2B at bending lines represented by broken lines.

[0038] Each of the lock pieces 13a to 13d is continuously formed with a cardboard body 31 integrally. The circ...

second embodiment

[0044] A second embodiment of the present invention is explained using FIG. 5. FIG. 5A is a plan view of a container suspending base plate 10, and FIGS. 5B and 5C are sectional views taken along the lines A-A and B-B in FIG. 1A, respectively.

[0045] In the present embodiment, an example of suspending six drink cans is illustrated.

[0046] The container suspending base plate 40 has six circular openings 41, and a plurality of lock pieces 42 are formed to rise aslant from an inner peripheral edge of each of the circular openings 41 toward an inside thereof. Diameters D1 of the circular openings 41 are formed so that head parts of cans to be suspended can pass therethrough, and diameters D2 of virtual circles formed by connecting tips of the lock pieces 42 to each other are formed smaller than diameters of lock parts (a) formed on peripheries around the head parts of the cans (see FIG. 7). The container suspending base plate 40 has a frame portion 43 therearound for reinforcement and a ...

third embodiment

[0052] A third embodiment of the present invention is explained using FIGS. 8A and 8B.

[0053] In the present embodiment, an example of suspending six plastic bottles P is illustrated.

[0054] A container suspending base plate 60 has six circular openings 61, and a plurality of lock pieces 62 are formed to rise aslant from an inner peripheral edge of each of the circular openings 61 toward an inside thereof. Diameters D3 of the circular openings 61 are formed so that head parts of the plastic bottles P to be suspended can pass therethrough, and diameters D4 of virtual circles formed by connecting tips of the plurality of lock pieces 62 to each other are formed smaller than diameters of lock parts (d) (See FIG. 8B) formed on peripheries around the head parts of the plastic bottles P. The container suspending base plate 60 has a frame portion 63 therearound for reinforcement and a finger catching flap 64 at two positions in a central area for inserting a finger.

Abstract

A container suspending device capable of processing waste without causing any problems while maintaning the advantages of a conventional container suspnending device, wherein a plurality of circular openings (41a) to (41f) are provided in a paper container suspending base plate (40), a plurality of lock pieces (42) extending toward an inside are formed from the inner peripheral edges of the circular openings (41a) to (41f), the diameters (D1) of the circular openings (41a) to (41f) are formed so that the head parts of containers to be suspended can pass therethrough and the diameters (D2) of virtual circles formed by connecting the tips of the plurality of lock pieces (42) to each other are formed smaller than the diameters of lock parts (a) formed on the peripheries around the head parts of the containers.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] This invention relates to a container suspending device used for drinks or the like filled in a container such as a can or a plastic bottle when the drinks are sold in a bundle or carried about. BACKGROUND ART [0002] In retail stores, generally, canned drinks such as canned beer, juice or coffee as well as bottled tea, juice, isotonic drinks or flavoring materials filled in plastic bottles are sold individually or in a bundle of a certain number of items. On the other hand, when canned drinks or bottled drinks in plastic bottles are delivered from manufacturers or wholesale stores to retail stores, they are packaged in a pack of a certain number of items. For example, 24 cans of beer are delivered by packaging 6 cans each in auxiliary containers and then packaging the auxiliary containers in a corrugated carton. Thus, in retail stores, the corrugated carton is opened to take out a canned beer one at a time for individual sales, or several cans of beer are disp...
